Nuzzling Kits

Gallery: WildlifePosted September 3, 2014640 views4 comments

Hey everyone! So, I've been on a fox kick lately, what with all the cooperative foxes in Waterton this year

! These two kits share an adorable moment by nuzzling before returning to play time. I wish I could have gotten a photo of them nuzzling each other instead of just the one on the right doing all the work

. But hey, what can you do? I'm really happy with the way this one turned out, though. I believe the kit on the left is watching his mother.

Thank y'all for lookin'!

Precious, Jenaya! Good eye contact and detail, and the light colored grass is a perfect complement to the reddish brown fox pelts.

So sweet! Really a tender moment between these siblings. I'm envious of your fox watching time, and you've done a great job of capturing their charm.

Another beautiful moment you captured Jenaya. I really like the angled position of the foxes and the even lighting works nicely here to help convey the mood.

Sweet One

This is especially sweet! Great moment. Techs look fine, with you retaining nice detail in the whites. If this is full frame I would be tempted to try a closer crop to allow the angles provided by the you fox to lead to image corners. Just a thought, but take a look at it that way.
